    It seems more stupidity than bravery.

    If I was his manager - I would not allow the 'test ride' or a 'too soon' comeback.
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Possibly, but if he has metal plates in his leg (thats what I have) apparently you can start moving again really soon. (i didn't realise this). If you don't you lose muscle mass and tone. And that takes a long time to get back. The bones won't move once pinned. Sure, he probably shouldn't actually race as I imagine he is still bruised from the crash. But this will give him a really good idea of where he is. If his doctors were seriously concerned he would not be allowed to ride. I bet it was pretty well controlled. And the danger would have been if he came off again. Not so much aggravating the existing injury. I think those guys get far better care than you or I would! Still ballsy though.

    I'm not a surgeon, I don't know what treatment he's receiving, I can't comment on whether it is too soon or the right time, but I can say what a fucking hard cunt he is. Only a month since his accident, and he's considering a return in Germany. And who says he can't win? I don't think he will, but (and I haven't seen Catalyuna yet) if Lorenzo was to have a season ending accident and Rossi had a fantastic return, who could tell huh.

    I was a social player attached to the Devils here in hamilton. I played for the senior social team a couple of times but only to make up the numbers. While good at hockey I was a seriously bad skater!

    Last month TV3 sports called him Valentini Rosso...and last week mentioned Jorge's win while showing the Moto2 crash at the finish.

    Makes you wonder about corporate news accuracy eh.
